Tabletka & StayOut

So, I’ve been compiling a list of the most reliable natural foods for long hikes, and I’m wondering if you’ve got any tried‑and‑true go‑to snacks that actually hold up on a trail.

Hard‑tossed nuts and dried fruit, yeah. They’re calorie‑dense, don’t spoil, and the only thing you need to keep track of is the weight in your pack. Whole berries, dried apricots, a handful of almonds or pistachios—just don't forget to bring a reusable container so you can toss the shells out when you’re done. That’s the trade‑off: a few grams of extra weight for a few extra days of energy and a lot less worry about a cold, soggy snack.

Sounds solid, but double‑check the portion sizes – a single ounce of nuts is already about 170 calories, so you could run out before you hit the summit if you’re not careful with the weight. Also, keep an eye on the sugar load from the dried fruit; a quick sugar spike can leave you feeling drained later. Stick to low‑sugar options and maybe add a small packet of salted dark chocolate for a quick boost, but remember to pack the wrapper so you’re not adding extra waste to the trail.

Got it—pack a half‑ounce of nuts, a few dried cranberries, a dash of dark chocolate, and remember to weigh it. Keep it light, keep it honest, and you’ll still have enough for the climb.

Nice plan – that’s a good balance of energy and weight. Just double‑check the totals in a small scale so you don’t forget the 0.5 ounce of nuts, and maybe keep the chocolate in a single wrapper so you can toss it after use. Happy hiking!

Good idea – scale it out, keep the wrapper, and you’ll be fine. Stay sharp out there.
